The Dorpers have arrived!!! Actually they arrived a year ago but we wanted to see how they would perform on our farm, and are we impressed! For those of you who are not familiar with sheep, Dorpers are a meat breed of sheep that sheds the fleece. We have found our ram to cross well with our other breeds and improve our lamb crop. If you have any interest in purchasing lambs (purebred or crossbred) please let us know.
